Answer 1

Explanation:

During an experiment, a signal from a spaceship reached the ground station in five minutes. What was the distance of the spaceship from the ground station? The signal travels at the speed of light, that is, 3 × 108 ms-Let the distance between the spaceship and the ground station be 'S' .

Then, S=vt

where, v= speed of signal =3×10

8

m/s

t= time taken =5min=5×60s=300s

∴s=3×10

8

×300=9×10

10
